The Loyola Institute for Ministry Online joins students from south Louisiana, from around the

United States, and from around the world in a program informed by what we call “practical theology,” an approach that is informed by the themes of faith and also reads “the signs of the times” in the service of transformation.

Our students participate in a welcoming learning community, pray the graces of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, and and benefit from being a part of a Jesuit and Catholic university with a national reputation, including an award-winning library.

Our faculty are grounded theologically, committed to teaching excellence, and contribute to research in the field. In particular, their teaching is informed by best practices and their own research in educational technology and social media for ministry. More information

The Loyola Institute for Ministry Extension (LIMEX) Onsite

Students integrate their knowledge of the Catholic faith with their own ministry. They develop ministerial proficiency by combining in-depth study of the Christian theological tradition with an appreciative and critical understanding of the contexts in which they minister. These include the sociocultural context of their ministry, the personal context of participants’ own faith development and spirituality, and the institutional context and organizational dynamics of the ministry sites in which they work.

The Loyola Institute for Ministry Extension (LIMEX) Onsite offers the Certificate in Pastoral Studies and the Certificate in Religious Education. They are both 36 credit, continuing education certificate programs For more information click here

There’s the academic excellence of our eight master’s programs, which are rooted in passionate Catholicism. There’s the vital interaction of faith and reason, which leads to “a greater love for truth” and “a more comprehensive understanding of the meaning of human life” (Pope John Paul II, Ex corde Ecclesiae). There’s the excitement of living in a community of scholars who are faithful to the magisterium and guided by St. Francis’ vision of love for the Catholic Church.

In short, Franciscan University offers a fully Catholic graduate education that can transform your mind and heart while advancing your career and preparing you for your irreplaceable role in the new evangelization.
